IMPROVEMENT IN SLIDING WAGON-SEAT;

'The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same Be it known that I, RICHMOND 0. KNOWLES, of

Ooolville, .in the county of Athens and State of Ohio, haveinventcdanewandusefullmprovementin Wagon- Seats; and I do hereby declare that the following is a fnll, clear, and exact description of the same, reference r being bad to the accompanyingdrawing forming apart of this specification, in whichr i t l igure l is a front elevation of the seat, with a transverse section of the wagon, and

Figure2 is an end elevationlof the seat, with a side I elevation of the wagon.

This invention consists of aperforated metal plate, aitachedlto the upper surface of ,one side of a wagonbody, combined with a wagonseat furnished with clasps fin-embracing said plates, andfwith aspring pin for fastening-the seat 'at an desired point on the plates.

In the drawing i l A is thewagon-hody.

a, a are the metal plates, fastened upon the upper surface of the sides of the wagon, there being recesses It cut in the sides, ben eath the plates, for the reception of the hooks b b of the plates c. which are attached to the lower ends of the legs dd of thcwagonseatc.

The plates 0 are turned down square at their outer sides, the hooks being on their inner sides.

Toall'whom it may concern."

Notches are out in the inner sidesot' the plates, at any four points, at such distances apart as will receive all four hooks, b, at once, by means of which notches the seat e is first put in position on the plates. It

may then he slid along the plates in either direction, the hooks moving, as the seal slides, in the recesses h. A spring plate, t, is attached to the under side of one end of the seat, and a pin, it, projects downward from one extremity of the plate a, and'enters either one of the orifices in the plate a, and thus secures the seat at one point.

On lifting the pin it out of the hole wherein it is placed, the seat may be moved as convenience requires,

and fastened again in the same way.

Having thus described my invention, What I claimas new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 4 The perforated metal plate a, combined with the seat e, when the latter is provided with the plates 0 and spring pin 70, in the manner and for the purpose specified.
